Reviews
The most versatile man I know; sports, music, writing, the law, he could do it all. - Tim McCarver When it came to baseball, Cashen had the magic touch. - Nelson Doubleday Jr., former president of Doubleday and former owner of the New York Mets Frank Cashen, through shrewd trades and organizational development, put together two of the most complete pitching staffs in baseball history. Through the use of both the numbers and his great appreciation of the eyes and ears of the game (the scouts), Mr. Cashen assembled iconic franchises. Orioles and Mets fans applaud. - Ron Darling, New York Mets pitcher in the 1980s Frank Cashen liked being a sportswriter, liked being a lawyer, liked running a brewery, but loved being a baseball general manager. He took his intellect, people skills, great judgment, and passion and became one of the best baseball GMs ever. - Jim Palmer, broadcaster and Baltimore Orioles Hall of Fame pitcher Cashen is a hero to the little people in baseball. He believed in scouting and the Minor Leagues and persuaded the big league owners to provide a retirement plan for the forgotten people of baseball. - Harry Minor, long-time New York Mets scout
